    I do wonder if it is possible it was something else, like SIDS or what have you. It does seem suspicious, but, either way - it’s tragic as hell.

      Doubt it was SIDS, it’s right there in the name: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Apparently, it pretty much only affects infants under a year old, with 90% of cases occurring before 6 months. It would be almost unheard of if it affected both of her 18-month-old toddlers at the exact same time. Very sad, I’m glad they’re investigating this…

        Not almost unheard of. Unheard of. Both experiencing it at the exact same time does not happen.

      I believe that SIDS has been disproven and it’s found that children are suffocating because they get themselves into positions where they cannot breathe properly.
